Application for automatic placement of hardware modules in layout form

Abstract

This work presents an application for automatically placing sub-modules of an ALU to create a layout design. This process is made as easy to use as possible by utilizing a webpage environment as the user interface. The user is offered a selection of available modules and can place them on a grid, creating a final design with the desired characteristics. This application, although a bit limited on its own, stands as a proof of concept for a future project with a bigger scope, even on the CPU core level.
